March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[Unexpected212]

Really struggling at the minute. I don't want to be TTC I just want my baby I should be 12 weeks now!

I do know how you feel. I waited 2 months after my miscarriage for my BFP and even though I'm pregnant I just can't relax and enjoy it. I also keep thinking really I should be much further along but I'm not

It's such a horrible thing to go through

Well we can't bed anymore---we're exhausted! Sure hope I get a temperature spike tomorrow. I've had ovulation pain since yesterday, but I ran out of OPKs so I can't check that way, but I'm pretty sure we're good. This is the second straight month of fabulously timed bedding, so hopefully it works out---although sometimes it's the badly timed months that work!

Good luck to everyone in the TWW and those WTT. And, of course, all those that just got BFPs.

Anyone know anything about xrays and pregnancy? I'm scheduled for an xray on the 20th (foot xray), and I'm not due for AF until the 24th or 25th. Is it safe? The technician does ask, so I'm not sure what I should say. If they cancel it I'll probably lose my appointment with the foot specialist in early February.

 

[VivianJean]

should give you a lead vest right? it's not a whole body scan is it?

 

[mowat]

No, just my feet. Do you think they'll give me a lead vest, or will they just cancel the appointment on me?

 

[VivianJean]

If you are concerned I'd call and ask. If it's not whole body you might be ok with lead vest.

 

[qwk]

thanks guys, yeah the tech didn't seem concerned and I don't think she even tried that hard to get the measurement - she kind of showed me how it was hard to get a measurement as the outline of the baby was kind of unclear, if that makes sense. Wish I was going back in next week, but I'll just have to tough it out for two weeks!

and many hugs and thoughts to everyone in here. It is an awful thing to go through. As happy as I am to be pregnant now, I am just so worried something is going to take it away from me at any moment. Sigh.

 

[Mariahs Mom]

QWK- Glad to hear that the scan went well...I wouldn't be too worried abt the measuring of your baby. I had an early scan at what I thought was 6wx2d but when we did the u/s I was only 4wks the latest. I carried my baby girl all the way up to my preterm labor at 6 months.

So you should be great!!!!

 

[qwk]

Oh btw I believe I read on the papers I got from my midwives that x-ray are ok with a lead vest over the bump area.

Thank you and I am sorry for your losses It's comforting knowing I am not alone (although I wish this on no one) If you ever need to talk I am here

 

[armywife03]

List popping in to say we saw baby and heartbeat! 120 bpm. Like unexpected, it was measuring 2-3 days short or what I think I am, but the tech said its so small at this point it's very hard to get an accurate measurement, so they're having me back in two weeks hope everyone is well!

Thats great news!! So happy for you.

 

[Tricia173]

No, just my feet. Do you think they'll give me a lead vest, or will they just cancel the appointment on me?

When I was about 7 weeks I had to have a foot X-ray, and they said it was safe but as a precaution they doubled the lead vest

I had an chest X-ray when I was pregnant and they covered my stomach and everything was fine

 

[ESwemba84]

I have no idea what DPO I am....but somewhere between 7 and 9. I do usually start PMS and cramps about a week before, so it feels just like any other cycle. Tomorrow is CD 20, and AF is due anywhere from CD 21-26.

 

[mowat]

Thanks for the xray info guys! I'll go ask them tomorrow.

Everything crossed for you Eswemba!

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Really struggling at the minute. I don't want to be TTC I just want my baby I should be 12 weeks now!

I know EXACTLY how you feel I would've been due this Monday, the 13th.

I am frustrated that I have to start all over. I'm pissed actually...So we can go through this journey together. We are on the same page!

 

[eyemom]

GL ES, hope it was just too soon!

girls I hope it happens for you all soon. I'm thinking about my DD's 3rd birthday next month, but I just can't stop thinking that I should be planning a 1st birthday party too (due date was the day after DD's birthday). All this time and no hint of a BFP. :'(

Excited though to start the clomid tomorrow! I feel like I should take it at night to hopefully sleep through the worst of the side effects, but I'm also afraid that hot flashes could mess up my sleep? I'm also supposed to start on CD5 and tomorrow is more like CD5-6ish, so in that regard I feel like the earlier the better. But I don't want to go crazy in the middle of my work day, haha.

 

[DSemcho]

Sure I ovulated last night, been having more than normal fertile CM and I had the sharp stabbing pain last night on the proper side indicating ovulation. So I should expect AF in about 13 days so on the 23/24th. I'm out for January because my DH went TDY in the states on the 3rd. And we haven't had sex this year so far. So my next testing date is probably the very end of February or the first week of March depending on my ovulation.

 

[DSemcho]

Tiny update. Had some spotting, so either I definitely ovulated last night or I ovulated between the 31st and 2nd and didn't know it.

 

[Starry Night]

qwk - congrats on the scan!!!

ES - I hope you're still in it!

mowat - as long as they're aware there is a chance you might be pregnant I think you should be fine.

brunette - I totally understand you feel. Having to start TTC after a loss is such a bitter time. I HATED having to start over again and being back at square one. Each TTC journey is so different that it could be quick or it could take a long time. I also hated that even if I did get my bfp right away I would have to start a new pregnancy all over again with all the worry and dangers of 1st tri....there is no picking up where you left off. Even being halfway through my current pregnancy I fear I'll lose it and have to start all over.

DSemcho - I'm sorry you weren't able to fit in any BD'ing in but at least it seems you're ovulating. It's comforting to know when our bodies are doing what they should.

garfie - did you end up testing again? Any updates?

afm - getting to the hungry stage of my pregnancy. Not sure how I'm going to prevent myself from getting to be a true fatty again like last time. I'm so, so hungry all the time! I will heat up pizza pockets at 4am on a regular basis. LOL We're supposed to suppress these urges. Yeah right!
